3x 4 1/4 white panel was inked in blue on the left side. Cut a 3/4 x 4 1/4 strip of white card stock, used the fiskars scallop border punch to punch the edge, covered it in aleene's tacky glue and sprinkled silver glitter on it. Adhered that under the white panel, so that the bit of glittery scallops showed through. Using the nestabilities labels 1 set, I cut a bigger label die in white, ran it through the Big Shot using the divine swirls folder, and then softly inked the embossed area with Colorbox Chalk ink in Ice Blue, and the edges in French Blue. Die cut a smaller panel, in which I used versamark to stamp the image, then used Zing! white embossing powder and a heat gun to emboss the image. Went over the image with Colorbox chalk inks in Ice Blue, French Blue, and Azurite, then used a napkin to wipe off the ink from the embossed part. I like the effect of the white dove on the blue inked background! Mounted that panel on top of the other die cut, centered on top of white rectangle panel, and then stamped the "Merry Christmas" sentiment using black Brilliance ink. Attached that to a kraft card base, and there you have it! Pretty quick card to make, as I did 6 of these in 2 hours. Granted, the original prototype took me 3 hrs of fiddling and playing and inking and throwing out paper, but hey, it was worth it! People actually asked me to make these for sale
